The last two postings tried to provide a photographic record of most of the Competition entries of direct interest to us and, in a change of plan, I’ve already posted trade news and other things of interest in the What’s New thread. I’d like to turn now to an encouragingly large number of Great War aircraft put on display by IPMS Branches and Special Interest Groups (SIGs). I haven’t tried to capture them all and given the number of photos I’ll split this over several postings.
If I have misattributed anything please accept my apologies.
IPMS West Glamorgan had a 1/32 Sopwith Triplane and a Gotha G.IV on display

As an international organisation, a number of overseas IPMS Branches had Great War models on show. I hope that IPMS Belgium Lurons will forgive this poor photo.

And the same too for exhibitors from IPMS Swidnica, (a city in the Silesia region of south-west Poland,) who put on a 1/72 display of Richthofen’s aircraft. Apparently he lived there from 1903-18.

Next up is a display from IPMS Ireland with a nice little warning to the unwary about touching the models!
